The Game Awards Premiere Date Set for December

The Game Awards are set to return this year on December 10. Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there will not be a live audience this year, but host Geoff Keighley announced that this year’s awards show will be hosted from three international locations: Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. The Game Awards will be hosted live on Thursday, December 10, 2020, as a digital livestream. The annual awards show hosted and founded by Geoff Keighley honors some of the best games of the year and are also where games receive new trailers or premieres.

However, the coronavirus pandemic has caused The Game Awards to take a different approach this year. Instead, the show will air live from studio locations in Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. The Game Awards are still promising awards presentations, musical performances, and new game announcements. Speaking with IGN, however, Keighley says “It’s too early to talk about world premieres for the show this year, but we’re in discussions now with all the publishers and developers of this year’s lineup,” Keighley says. “We’re looking forward to a big night of announcements and surprises for the fans.” Regarding the new three host city structure, Keighley says The Game Awards hopes to make the three locations feel connected.

It’s challenging but also exciting to bring the show to more cities. I’ve long had the dream of hosting The Game Awards in other locations.” Check out The Games Awards on December 10 and IGN which will cover the show and all the updates live.
